being so morally superior. However do you manage?

The first noble truth is life is suffering, but, the buddha preached "joyful participation in the sorrows of the world".

We all have to make our ways through this world, we all have to manage, it is important to find joy in the little things. I personally find "mudita" to be a great source of joy but I recognize it is not the only source.
